Dreadful post tonsillectomy pain, I'm on day 5 of recovery

Answered by a doctor

I'm 18, on day 5 of recovery. I really had to force myself out of bed to feel better. I wish my ENT, or anyone for that matter, would've prepared me for how painful and dreadful this truly is. I leave for college in 4 days, so hopefully it'll be a speedy recovery

So after large amounts of googling, I didn't find a whole lot about 17-19 year old tonsillectomies.
